Patent number: 11961059Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Nobuaki Matsueda, Takashi Sueki, Jun Okamoto, Takumi Wada, Ryo Midorikawa, Junichi Nonaka, Wataru Shiraishi, Yasuhisa Fujiwara, Hiroshi Ishikawa, Shigeru Ichikawa, Hidetaka Eguchi, Masayo Nagai, Mika Inaba

Patent number: 7642145Abstract: There is a problem in that when the demand accuracy with respect to a semiconductor pattern dimension comes close to a resist molecule size with miniaturization, the device performance is deteriorated due to edge roughness of a resist pattern to exert a bad influence on the system performance. The present invention overcomes the problem by the procedure in which super-molecules which are small in dimension as compared with the conventional polymers are used as main components, the reaction number required for the change of molecule solubility is made constant and as large as possible, and an acid generator is made clathrate or combinatory n super molecules to make an acid catalyst concentration large. As a result, it is possible to form a pattern of molecular accuracy with high productivity even with respect to the pattern dimension less than 50 nm, thereby realizing the high performance system.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2002Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Fukuda, Yoshiyuki Yokoyama, Takashi Hattori, Toshio Sakamizu, Tadashi Arai, Hiroshi Shiraishi
